Hi all,

I have just had a lumpectomy and 3 lymph node biopsy last week. This is after 24 weeks of chemo!

I’m finding that I am more sore now than last week and although I think this is normal I need a little more convincing! 
I am doing the physio I was given and my husband said it just looks bruised and swollen.

Am I panicking unnecessarily? 

Thanks 

  • Hi Vonnielol, daughter had a few 'more sore' days in the second week, as the bruising came out. She also found her lymph node scars sorer and slower to heal than the tumour removal scar. But they all healed eventually. Do give the CNS team a call if anything is really worrying you. Very best of luck with your recovery  - you'll get there. x

  • Thanks Cherry

    I did wonder if that was the case but like everything the mind goes into overdrive! 
    I hope your daughter is ok now x
